Be it known that I, JOHN G. HITCHCOCK, of N ew York city, in thev Sta-teef New York, have invented certain `new and useful `Improvements in Neckties;

and in fastenings for the same; and I do hereby declare the following isa full and exact description thereof'.

y I employ a jam-buckle, which secures the fabric without puncturing orfraying.,

. y My jam-buckle has' a leverror broad thuinhpiece, l s foi' conveniently operating it, and. is 4mountedV in a frame, which servesto very `efficiently coune and e The accompanying drawing. forms part of this specification.- i y Figure 1 is a front view of the lentire tie. i.

Figure `2 is a section through vthe knot, as seen Figure 3 is a corresponding central vertical sec- Figure LLisa rear view of the jam-buckle auditsV l 'box or casedetached from the other parts, and

Figure 5 is a longitudinal` section of the saine.

i A Similar letters of refereneewi'ndiate corresponding` parts in all the figures.'`

y A is an ornamental covering, lpreferably of silk, i

lined with strong cambric, which formsthe body of f the knot, or representative part where the tie is'se` .i i cured. It is niade in the form `of` a flat conical ring I or loop, with the seam at the back4 presenting the appearance of a sailors knot.

i This partA is worn on the frontV of the neck, and C, is-ot such length that one end projects through it.

of greater breadth, and of ,the `saineuor different ma-V l terials, which arejsewu withiuthe knot A, and extend downward, `properly diver-ging, as represented.

. I use the letters G1 Cito represent the two ends of;

thetie.` 4 i. w y The end G is sewed fastto the knot A. The end Ci, onI the contrary, is passed through. a jam-buckle, concealed within the knot A, and is rapidly and easily It is drawn'out altogether Ito detach the tie fromlthe person, and the 4end()z is stiffeued with `a small metallic inclosure, c, to facilitate its'ready introduc. `tion through the jam-buckle. i I

`D representsthe casing,and E, the tongue of the jam-buckle.

.3 i Both the part-s may bemade of brass, or other thin metal plate, or otherwise prepared, if desired.

I will represent the several parts of the casing D The widest and `main part ofthecasing I) is D,

the tongueband interior of the knot A,;and extending `line thefupper edge of the framing D. i In the manufacture of my goods this is sewn in and is prepared with holes (l along its edges at the `top and. bottomby the aid of which itmay be secured firmly by sewing.

flhe turned tip-'sides' aremarked DZID. They form the bearings for the tongue or turning part. These sides` .D2 D2 are 'braced andsnpported by a broad andstout cross-piece, D3.

`The several parts of the. tongue or .turning part` E are also represented by numerals. attached;

Thus, Elrepresents the'effective or jaming part-of Iilrepresentsl a broad thumbfpiece, by 'which the entire tongue may heA operated.

lhe beaiingsouwhich-the tongue or tnrningpart l1inge,`.may be formed in one piecetherewith, as indi- The kntA incloses nearly lthe whole of the metallic parts D and E, but the thumb-piece E2, by

which the jam-buckle is operated, is freely accessible from beneath, by reaching the thumb or finger behind the` ends llILlVPrbetween them and the shirtbosom of the wearer,not represented.

G is a piece of ribbon or analogous stout fabric,

' which is sewn rmly around the cross-barD, at one end, and to the. upper edge of the back of the'knot A. at the other-end.

H is a narrower piece of stout fabric, sewn in the across to conplace before the knot-A is closed or joined.

It lis important to make a single size iit a. great number of men audboys, or, iu other words, to avoid the necessity for making many different sizes. Mv

invention allows this, by merely passingthe end (lz a little way through the jam-buckle, for largen'ecks, and passing itmueh furtherthrough for small necks.

In' the latter case, so `much length-of" C will be passed through the jam-buckle that it might, with some disturbance of the clothing, Ybecome visible in the front..` p To avoid this, I provide one of the ends, M, with one or more elasticf loops', m, andwhen the free end, G2, is long, secure it by passing it through such elastic loops. i

My invention is more especially intended for standup collars, generally known in their present sty-lefaswy garrote-collars, but in my experiments it has been used successfully also with the turned down collars.

The. box or casing D1 D2 D? incloses the channel through which the end Cl of the tie is inserted, the

tapeII covering the upper end or e-d'g'eV of the part i D1, and the tape G' covering the upper edge of the cross-bar D-aid'iu guiding each time the free end of O is inserted, so that it cannot go astray. The tape H may beldispensed with, by sewing the upper edge of D very firmly :md smoothly, but I with suitable silken or other fabric, forming the body esteem it important to retain the tape G under all of the tie, all substantially as hereinset forth.`

e'rcumsmnces. It forms a Very eficent support as In testimony whereof; I have hereunto set my name well as guide. in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
